Commencement Of East Mississippi Female
College, Meridian.

Meridian, and surrounding country
felt great interest in the exercises this
year, and great gathering was seen at
Commencement. The sermon by Rev.
5. w. Werlein, of New Orleans, Sab
bath morning, produced a profound i'm
preston. Full of rich, strong thought.
impressively delivered, rising to heights
of eloquence here and there, the preach
er carried his audience with him in all
the highways of his sacred theme.
Monday and Tuesday were devoted
to examinations, and the Senior class
were subjected to rigid examination
by the Committee. Wednesday night
brought the annual Concert, which was
a grand affair. A small charge was
made at the door to obtain select au-
dience and the hall was crowded. as
something of unusual excellence was ex.
pected. The audience were not disap.
pointed. The concert far surpassed ex,
pectation. The exquisite PLAYING of
thoroughly trained fingers, the exact
execution of the most difficult pieces
the wonderful precision of time in the
Sutherland pieces, attracted great in
terest. The Homage to Verdi y "Break
O. Day Gallop;" "Amarylis;" "Boccac-
clos Spanish Serenade;; "Diabelli Son
alta I'M D." and "Rive-King's Bubbling
Spring" were exquisitely performed.
The songs displayed good voices in fine
culture and under excellent control
especially ia Fioraja" 'Supposine. y

The general verdict that the college has
never hitherto given a more superior
concert was heard on all sides. and the
great success of the Music Department
this year, proved that thorough work
had been done. This is due to the ac-
complished and distinguished Music
teacher, Miss Addie Purnell. Her repu
tatien as a teacher is second to none in
the State, and her genius and faithful
work has secured this great triumph.

Trouble Ahead.

When the appetite fails, and sleep grows
restless and unrefreshing, there is trouble
ahead. The digestive organs, when healthy,
crave food, the nervous system, when
vigorous and tranquil, gives its possessor
no uneasiness at night. A tonic, to be
effective, should not be mere appetizer,
nor are the nerves to be strengthened and
sOothed by the unaided action Of soda
tive or a narcotic. What is required is a
medicine which invigOrates the stomach,
and promotes assimilation Of food by the
system, by which means the nervous sys-
TEN, well as other parts of the physical
organism, are strengthened. These are
the effects OF Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
medicine whose reputation il founded
firmly in public confidence, and which
physicians commend for its tonic, anti
bilious and other properties. 1t is used
with the best results in fever and ague,
rheumatism, kidney and uterine weakness,
and other maladies.
